My friends, mentors, colleagues and clients!

I have known Kevin for approximately 5 years and throughout this time, Kevin has been an exceptional friend, co-worker, and is always committed to excellence. Kevin continues to challenge others to be the best at who they are and never accepts the status quo. His work ethic is impeccable and his customer focus and understanding of the needs of his clients always takes precedent. Kevin brings a unique perspective and understanding to the work environment and as a result, he is able to build strong relationships and partnerships with not only his business clients but his peers and management. Kevin continues to learn and grow both personally and professionally which additionally adds depth, character, and brings passion to everything he does. I'm truly impressed by his driven spirit, kind heart, and willingness to always go above and beyond for betterment of others. I've had the opportunity to work with Kevin for informal coaching and his ability to listen, digest, and understand allows him to get to the root of an issue or concern. He is quite insightful in understanding your concerns or issues and is able to lead you through conversation, to an achievable and realistic solution with empathy and accountability.

Kevin has been a guest speaker at my school, Bloom High School three times. He engaged my students the moment he started his speech because he had a wealth of knowledge, was personable, and motivating, The students really enjoyed the time Kevin spent with them. He spoke from personal experience, which caused the students to feel as though he was speaking to them personally and the students were eager to participate in the conversation. He left the students wanting more.

It's not often that I've been provided opportunities to make recommendations for exceptional human beings such as Kevin A. Johnson. For this, I'm grateful to be able to share with you the character of a man who continues to add value to his relationships, work, and other purposeful endeavors he becomes a part of. To see him is to approach him, to connect to him, to trust him, and thereby have your life altered by his ability to actively listen, and bring wisdom, insight and direction to any situation. Kevin's ability to be empathetic, culturally inclusive, collaborative, and a community bridge builder is "social and emotional learning" at its best. His strong sense of self and ability to manage his life in a way that is responsive to others, versus reactive continues to validate that he's the man I want to help me create synergy among the organizations in the community and the families I serve. Kevin is postured in several communities of Chicago as a person of understanding and reason. His expanded knowledge of innovative technologies, and grasp of the research on studies related to humaness, has enabled him to bridge gaps, and break down any barriers to meaningful conversations among constituents. "He makes me look better than I am." This is what his friends would say...I know, I'm one of them.

"Last year, I embarked on one of the most exciting adventures of my life: I created my own business. While coming up with the business idea was a great milestone in itself, I found myself stuck in that first step, unable to move any farther, stalling without really understanding the reason. Kevin Johnson helped me see things through by giving me a platform to discuss my ideas and clarify my vision. He is truly gifted: he relentlessly pushes you to be the best you can be and own the journey that led you to where you are. He offered his time and dedication, and most importantly, he offered me his friendship. My journey became his journey, my trials his trials, my victories his own. He cheered me, encouraged me, and inspired me with lessons learned in his own journey. Today, I am at the best place I ever been in my life. Everyday has become a great journey of discovery, my business is taking off and taking me places I never imagined before! I've become unstoppable, ready to grab any opportunity coming my way, I sell my brand with more confidence than I ever did! It is so exciting to work with someone who understands what it entails to build your dream job, on your own terms."

Kevin has a gift for helping others to break through barriers. Each time, I have walked away with nuggets of wisdom that can be applied to real life situations. The openness, sharing and support that takes place during the gatherings is truly remarkable, which is evidenced by the consistently high attendance at each event.”

His ability to synthesize, novel creative and successful outcomes regardless of the project's nature - using superior interview, research and analytic skills - is remarkable.

"Coach Kevin Johnson is AWESOME!!! He is the first life coach I've experienced, and he really kept me moving forward with his consistent phone calls and emails. He did an outstanding job on my website, including a phenomenal cover for my book, and he generated several great ideas to expand my profits and market! I highly recommend him for any project you have, but only if you want to go above and beyond your own ideas! He is timely and persistent, so get ready to be challenged!"
